(a)
Answer to Problem 101A
The round-off measurement is 55.6 g.
Explanation of Solution
The given measurement is 56.55 g. It should be rounded off into 3 significant figures. Therefore, it is rounded off as 56.6 g (After the decimal, the digit at the tenth place is greater than 5 so 1 is added to the 5 and it becomes 6 at one’s place).

Answer to Problem 101A
The round-off measurement is
Explanation of Solution
The given measurement is 0.004849 m. It should be rounded off into 2 significant figures. The decimal is shifted toward the right and the power of 10 is equal to the number of decimal shifted places (negative).
Therefore, it is rounded off as
(c)

(c)
Answer to Problem 101A
The rounded-off measurement is 1.81 L.
Explanation of Solution
The given measurement is 1.8072 L. It should be rounded off into 3 significant figures. After the decimal, the digit at the hundredth place is greater than 5 so 1 is added to the 0 and it becomes 1 at tenth place).
Therefore, it is rounded off as 1.81 L.
